ZUMAPRESS.com / MEGA King Charles III and his staff are giving a heartfelt goodbye to royal horse Tyrone, who is retiring from his role with the royal family. "After 14 years of noble service with the Royal Mews, we are celebrating Tyrone and wishing him a happy retirement," the royal family said on their official X account. The palace went on to describe Tyrone as a "gentle and dependable giant." Over his 14 years of service, Tyrone pulled royal carriages in royal weddings (he towed Prince Harry and Meghan Markle on their wedding day in 2018), state visits and other major events including Queen Elizabeth II's Diamond Jubilee and King Charles' coronation. He worked for the royal family for the last time when French President Emmanuel Macron made a state visit to the U.K. in July. The horse is expected to join his father, 26-year-old Storm, and his older sister, 20-year-old Meg, in retirement. All three animals will reside at the Horse Trust sanctuary in Buckinghamshire, England, which is home to 120 horses, ponies and mules. "All three horse were very dear to Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II," the royal family shared. "Tyrone will be missed by everyone at the Royal Mews, but it's wonderful that he'll be reunited with his father and sister. Thank you, Tyrone!"

Another critic joked, "Tyrone the horse retires after 14 years of real work - making him the only Royal who's actually earned a pension."
